Dorton & Willis, Llp

Dorton & Willis, LLP was formed by former partners of large boutique intellectual property and general practice AMLaw 200 law firms who share a common vision to provide their clients with high-quality intellectual property legal counsel without the constraints inherent to the practice of law in large law firms. Located in a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, Dorton & Willis' business model and philosophy better enable us to utilize a focused team of experienced IP attorneys in partnership with our clients to implement and manage an intellectual property strategy tailored to their business. We utilize the efficiencies of deep legal skills and lower overhead to exceed clients' expectations while providing real value. Maintaining the quality of patent portfolios is becoming increasingly important in today's business and legal environment in view of the increased scrutiny that patents face in the form of post grant reviews and challenges to the patent eligibility of inventive subject matter. Trademarks are a company's "ambassadors" with respect to the consuming public. Protection of this important type of intellectual property is vital to brand owners. Our attorneys have the technical backgrounds and extensive legal experience to understand our clients' intellectual property needs and provide effective solutions. In addition to relevant industry experience, two of our partners are former patent examiners with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, complementing our legal expertise with practical knowledge of the inner workings of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to the benefit of our clients. In addition to our domestic intellectual property practice, the strong relationships we have developed over the years with foreign law firms ensure that our international clients' intellectual property is handled with the same high-quality legal expertise on a global scale.
